== Charter/Mission ==

* Vision
The nonprofit subgroup exists as a powerful source of energy, knowledge, experience, and inspiration for, and a community of, socially minded bootstrap entrepreneurs and leaders.

* Mission
The nonprofit subgroup of Bootstrap Austin seeks to support a community of individuals interested in using the bootstrap methodology to turn their ideas into strong, productive nonprofit or socially entrepreneurial organizations. This community will act as a foundation by which its members may more fully develop their ideas then develop and provide services. This foundation will allow the functionality of members' organizations to grow unencumbered by outside funding sources. Through the nonprofit subgroup, a myriad of resources will become available to members as the group grows in size and as the individuals develop their expertise. Also, through the subgroup's connection with the larger bootstrap group, cross-pollination may occur to generate unexpected and exciting ideas and possibilities.

ShawnT:

I am currently working with my last employer, the Texas Education Agency. I manage a group responsible for the production of an annual report presenting results of SAT and ACT examinations for Texas' public school students and an annual report presenting results of Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate examination results for Texas' public school students.

I have a degree in human services, a degree in higher education, and a degree in statistics. I have extensive experience with conducting research, writing, SAS programming/data handling, and public speaking. I've worked primarily with or about kids since I was 15, starting with teaching swim lessons and coaching a couple of swim teams while in high school and college then working in a locked down facility with juvenile sex offenders while obtaining my first grad degree and conducting educational research and threatening to become a permanent fixture at the university while getting the last and absolutely final degree. Regardless of the environment I've never failed to find working with kids rewarding.

Since my junior year in college, my primary work oriented goal has been to develop a foundation that will help to enhance the quality of child and adolescent development by creating opportunity to learn, grow, achieve, and help others succeed. Hence the strange mix of degrees. Hopefully it will all one day make sense.

I can easily be reached via email at Shawn.Thomas@tea.state.tx.us. Please feel free to send me a note any time for any reason.
